Why this matters
After a long break, trying to reset everything in one day can exhaust both children and adults. The goal is not perfect preparation; it is creating a sense of safety and predictability together.
What families and schools can do
Move bedtime and wake-up time gradually. Check school materials with your child, not for them. Then ask for one thing they look forward to and one thing they worry about.
A careful perspective
When a worry appears, begin by listening. “I can see why that feels difficult” often helps more than an immediate solution.
